Onion ’n Pepper Beef Steak Sandwiches

Call it an extra special, simple and spicy steak sandwich. Or, call it lunch or dinner for some deserving diners.

It’s Onion ’n Pepper Beef Steak Sandwiches, made from reasonably-priced beef round tip steaks. These sandwiches, which feature jalapeño pepper, onion and garlic, are easy to make, and will be a welcome break from traditional quick meals.

Round steak makes a wonderful ingredient for sandwiches, especially if you remember some easy tips. First, pat the steaks dry with paper toweling to promote browning.

Also, add salt after you cook the meat. Adding it before cooking draws out the moisture and inhibits browning.

Finally, trim any fat after the meat has been cooked. This will preserve the juiciness.

These sandwiches are not only easy to fix, but also provide nutritious ZIP – Zinc, Iron and Protein – to the diet in a delicious way.

Cutline: These sandwiches from reasonably-priced round steak can add some “ZIP” to your dining.

Food communications programs are funded by beef producers through their $1-per-head beef checkoff program and are managed for the Cattlemen’s Beef Board and state beef councils by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. The Beef Board is a 108-member independent organization appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture to oversee the collection of the beef checkoff, certify state beef councils, implement the provisions of the Federal Order establishing the checkoff and evaluate the effectiveness of checkoff programs.

Producer-directed and consumer-focused, the NCBA is the trade association of America’s cattle farmers and ranchers, and the marketing organization for the largest segment of the nation’s food and fiber industry.
